They were one of the first two in the 'collection' and I look at your website often still. The Chet might be going up for sale, in all honesty, as my eyes are bigger than my wallet (big eyes, small wallet!) and I need to fund the L5 Signature without selling my wife and kids, although there's a thought.....

How do you like the ES275? That's on my hit list.
It's light, being hollowbodied, and had a nice jazz/blues sound and is an easy player. Oddly enough, it might be one of the ones that go up for sale when I get back to the UK tomorrow (I'm in France at the moment) as I'm going for an L-5 Signature and wonder if they'll be too similar. I'm probably having a bit of a sale of 'same-type' guitars, thanks to 'the auction sites' latest £1 commission offer.
Its nothing against the ES-275 though, as it's a nice guitar, and I may well keep it.
Anyone who believes they have a complete collection without a single tele or strat is sadly deluded

And I'm the Easter Bunny...
I used the two MJW’s for the first album I did with my band and although I liked the sound I wanted something a little different for the follow up.
The reason I have the Laneys are that I find them super inspiring to play, in fact I always have. Since 2008 I’ve had them on and off, I am always pleased with the tone when I plug into them and they take pedals really well.
The JTM45 simply because to my it’s the best blues rock club amplifier made. I don’t class myself as a blues player but the tone is just right both clean and pushed a little.
I loved the MJW amps but I had taken my sound as far as I could with that set up.
Oh oh and because of GAS
It's also the more rare sunburst (as opposed to natural) and has a lovely patina about it, almost 'vintage' - the sound is as mellow or as pokey as you want it to be - I tend to go towards the jazz/blues feel and it's perfect. The Byrdland has become almost a mythical thing - there's so few about, and the search engines usually come up with 'sold' examples, so I didn't really hesitate to get it, and I'm glad that I did. The 23.5 scale (as in the Gibson Byrd) isn't to everyone's taste, and I don't think that I'd have it as an 'only' guitar, but its lovely to have. People just don't seem to sell them though. I won't bore you with the specs, and you probably know the story about Gibson asking Epiphone to produce the best possible quality Byrd, only to stop them producing it when they realised that people weren't buying the Gibson version.
The specs are impressive, and the fit, quality, feel of it are top drawer - I tried a Gibson Byrdland shortly after I bought it and wouldn't have swapped it for the Gibson - not that the Gibson was bad, far from it, but the Epi felt 'friendlier', somehow - plus I don't think I'd have spent Gibson money on a 23.5 " scale guitar, to be honest.
I would recommend to anyone 'if you find one, buy it' - I'm a bit of a fan of Epiphones, particularly the Korean ones, but this sets the bar a lot higher in all respects.
